M.H.Mechanicals, Inc. Michael Hughes, Celtic Plumbing ON February 27, 2016, Michael Hughes responded to an ad I posted for needed help and services with Plumbing and Heating in Newburyport, MA. Beware, beware, beware ! Quincy Massachusetts

In this state, a Master Plumber, Gasfitter license is required of an individual to pull permits. I did specifically address this of the person whom I was hiring. I am a tradesman and contractor. I know the practices and procedures of these professional licensed trades. Michael Hughes came to my house and represented himself as a master licensed plumber/gasfitter. Granted, a contract was agreed upon, a deposit given for a specific install and and labor performed. Two days later, a shipment of supplies show up as previously discussed. Upon receiving these supplies, I notice the most obvious red flags going up... He mostly ordered the wrong materials, way over priced items that I immediately recognized. In addition of install materials, he ordered a personal tool on my deposit invoice. A tool value of approximately $400. First of all, you don't do these things as a professional. Secondly, if you were already doing such installallations, you wouldn't need this tool. Immediately, I called him and had a discussion regarding the wrong materials, the personal tool purchased, and most importantly, why ? The answer I received was, in regards of the materials purchased was because it would be easier and faster for him to install the heating system. When someone like myself, knowledgeable of building supplies and products spends $9,500, you are looking for quality, price point/budget, etc. not for a plumber to tell you that his reasoning was because "it's easier and faster" for him to get the job done. Immediately I went to the internet to research this individual. What I learned was horrifying to say the least. Many complaints very similar to mine, and nearly all of them unresolved to this date. In addition, I called the state licensing board, and too, find out that his name is not entered into the database as ever having a professional license to install nor sign off on the inspection, which is required by law. I do warn everyone, please read the many complaints and reviews that this man has. Currently I am working with local authorities to investigate with possible criminal charges. This man operates right on the thin line, taking your money, bad jobs, etc. just enough to skirt criminal judgment, making it a consumer complaint that never gets resolved and money out of your pocket.
